Cheese chili bites

20 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup All-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Dry mustard
½ teaspoon Hot chili powder
1 large Pinch cayenne pepper
¼ cup Butter or margarine
½ cup Finely grated Cheddar cheese
1 Egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Cold water
1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
1 tablespoon Poppy seeds

Directions

Preheat oven to 400'F. (205'C.). Sift flour, salt and spices into a bowl.

Cut in butter finely until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add grated cheese and mix well. Mix egg with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons of egg mixture to cheese mixture and mix to form a fairly stiff dough.

Knead gently on a lightly floured surface. Roll out dough to a 12x6" rectangle. Trim edges. Cut in half lengthwise and transfer to a baking sheet.

Breush each half with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle 1 half with sesame seeds and the other half with poppy seeds. Cut each half in 10 triangles and separate slightly to prevent sticking. Bake in preheated oven 10-12 minutes or until light golden and cooked through. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
